Microsoft's Satya Nadella to co-chair next year WEF meet

NEW DELHI: India-origin chief of Microsoft Satya Nadella will co-chair the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meet in January, an event that is likely to be attended by over 100 Indian business leaders, including billionaire brothers Mukesh and Anil.

More than 2,500 leaders from across the world, including from business, government and international organisations, would be coming together for the WEF meeting to be held in Davos from January 20-23 next year.

The theme of the meet would be 'Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution', WEF said in a release today.

"There are many challenges in the world today, and I feel that one of the most intense and impactful will be shaping the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution' - driven by the speed, the breadth and the complete 'systems innovation' of technological change underway," WEF Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab said.
